The Rail is currently the DPS heavy hitter. Its also the long range rifle. A weapon with High Optimal range should have a lower DPS. Not necessarily a hit to its damage but by hitting its fire rate down to about 75% or 50% on the main Breach models. The Assault variant would stand for a hit to its damage tho, at least down to Plasm Rifle levels.
Spool-up time is negligible now, even in CQC, you barely have to pre fire around corners right now.
The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field:
One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

Increasing spool time will not negate its ability in CQC. Its a DPS power house with a very large optimal range. Its ROF needs a decrease so its DPS is toned down. The assault Variant should instead have its damage per shot decreased to below Plasm Rifle levels otherwise its just outperforming the plasma rifle in any range.

In other news the main reason the RR seems OP is due the the low TTK all the way around.
Absolutely true, the TTK as it is now is so 'blink and die' that all Racial Rifles appear 'balanced' because they kill people in less time than a second. The reason that the Rail is getting to be the 'poster child of imbalance' is simply due to its optimal range we can feel that on a much greater scale. Before when most weapons were of noticeably shorter ranges, the TTK was less noticeable or offensive, since there was some chance of escape.
Now with the rail rifle operating at these ranges without penally people are being gunned down even when they are employing squad tactics and team work. Hence, most shooters exchange DPS with range by giving most long range weapons a lower RoF.
Also, being a Rail it does more damage to armor than shields, but blows through all but the most padded shield tanked suits with ease. Before boring even more damage through the plates (perhaps the last hope many had in resisting the TTK issue).
I loved the new Rail Rifle (I've always rocked rails on my Megathron) and feel that they fill a much needed role on the battlefield. But I eventually realized they are unbalanced and unbalancing the game even more soGǪ
